Building a cage
I've thought for a while on different designs/shapes/sizes etc for a cage for my guinea pig(he's big and fat, and that dinky wire cage I've got him in seems cramped(although, a buick seems like it would be too cramped for my pig hehe). Anyway, I figure the cheapest/easiest way to customize the cage is to build it out of wood, but how should I treat the bottom piece so that it does get wrecked from urine/water/etc, or should I just not bother doing anything to it at all? Mainly I'm just wondering if varnishing it is safe, it should be, but I want to make sure first.
